pregnant -- >> stephanie: if she were a five year old who was pregnant that would be up setting to me. >> caller: well the funny thing is her mother's parents are very conservative christians themselves. and when she went home to them and say, hey, i'm pregnant, we had only been together about three months, and her dad wasn't the happiest about this. but i can guarantee even him as a very conservative christian did not react the same way he would have if she would have came home and said daddy, i got raped and i'm pregnant. >> stephanie: yeah, what father says that? >> well, from his point of view he can't conceive of his daughter being a sexual being who can make decisions on his own, she must have been raped.

>> stephanie: oh so in that scenario rape would be better. because at least she is not a slut. >> i got just an email from a listener saying she shops at costco, and they don't sell packs of shirts. >> stephanie: oh my. >> i do believe -- unless he bought undershirts, which are sold in packages of three -- >> stephanie: i may have to go down reconnaissance research at costco today. >> be republican operatives sticking shirts in bags -- >> stephanie: just to cover up romney's lie. >> look see! >> stephanie: oh boy. and the rom-bot, feigning empathy now. >> romney: [ inaudible ]. >> stephanie: well, you know what, it must be time to -- [♪ "world news tonight" theme ♪] >> stephanie: time to go back to -- recall mitt's disaster

argues that the core of washington's dysfunction lies with the republican party, and you talk about poor tom brokaw here, despite his attempts to cut the thing to death, he knows good and well which party latched on to the right side of those events. >> yeah, the fact remains -- i read a quote somewhere saying given the democratics of this country, this is probably going to be the last time they can use this argument. >> stephanie: yeah, you said what we have in this campaign is the joining of old republican money and straight out of the swamps of the wallace campaign 50 years ago. it's an unholy mess. you are exactly right. >> yeah they are talking a lot down here about tempering the celebration because of what is going on in new orleans. i don't think they can do it.

important this talk is. let's talk about head start and the president's support of that. >> absolutely. the president is absolutely committed to heard start and over the last three years what we have really seen is investment in head start. our funding was at $6.2 billion, we're now at a little over $8 billion, and over the last three years have actually had the ability and privilege of serving 60,000 more children birth to five years old. >> stephanie: first -- you mentioned funding, but that's an important part of it, because i know, during the bush years i heard from so many teachers that said it was so underfunded. if it's just overfunding -- or excuse me, under funding and over testing, it doesn't work. tell us about how head start is working. >> education is just one

component to making sure our kids are successful. we have to make sure that kids can sit still and pay attention, and getting families what they need. because we really know is that our most successful kids are successful because they have their parents and families behind them. >> stephanie: i am a single childless loser, but how do you get kids to sit still? because my experience is mostly on planes so that would be useful information. >> well there are different techniques, but it is really focusing on what are they interested in and what are they doing? and the teachers and staff all across the head start programs in this country have the skills they need. >> stephanie: the boy -- just -- my friends that have boys, add and all of that

stuff -- >> that's right. >> it's a big problem for boys. and this is one of the core issues, because boys tend to be wiggly wigglyer, and have a harder time to sit still. what we need to do is get up a half hour early, take them to the playground let them run around and get their spelkas out. that is a legal term. >> stephanie: not to the point of throwing their connectiveas out, right? >> what? >> stephanie: excuse me. >> by the end of the 12th grade american kids go to school one year less than kids in europe and asia.

we have the shortest school days and school years. >> stephanie: yeah the president has spoken eloquently about that. it should not be okay that we are so far behind so many other countries in so many countries, it is? >> you are absolutely right. and we also make sure we are connecting our local head start programs to our local public schools. the nearly 1 million kids that we serve are all going to go into some public elementary schools, and we want to make sure our head start programs are going into public schools. >> stephanie: this covers a lot of things not just educational but medical, dental family support services? >> exactly.

it's a two generational program. we provide services during the day so we can support parents or foster parents or grandparents, whoever is taking care of that child so they can achieve their own goals to make sure they are supporting kids. >> stephanie: what is the difference between -- i know we have heard a lot about race to the top, how does that differentiate to head start? >> it is really to help states focus on building their early childhood systems. head start is definitely a part of that. they are at the table every day to make sure we have this birth to eight continuum, so it continues as our kid goes in to cinder, first, second, and beyond. >> stephanie: yeah, we were talking about this republican in tennessee that said don't say

gay law. >> uh-huh. >> stephanie: as you have been pointing out we have such a bigger problem with education? and really that's the most important thing to make sure no one mentions the word "gay" to school kids? >> yeah, head start has always clearly had bipartisan support. you can find a head start program in every county and tribal reservations and large cities all across this country. and it continues to have that bipartisan support that we need. i think the other piece i'll say is that we make sure we are being culturally linguistically and respecting the traditions and values and anything else that the families bring with them. >> stephanie: the same legislature said it's virtually impossible for heterosexual people to get aids through

heterosexual intercourse. so maybe is there a head start program for him? [ laughter ] >> a back-end program. >> stephanie: yes. >> our kids are pretty successful. they are ready when they go to kindergarten, and their families are ready to support them. >> stephanie: yeah yvette great stuff. and we'll talk to you as the campaign rolls along. thanks so much. >> thank you.

of office, like immediately. >> absolutely. >> you are right. >> stephanie: i know and how dangerous is stuff like that? >> yeah, i think this is the product of abstinence-only education, which teaches just don't do it. >> and it is working spectacularly. >> we have the highest rate of teen pregnancy in the world. >> stephanie: abstinence practices make kids hornier. it has been proven.
